Parts for Improving the Duchess Board Game Table Made by Boardgametables.com. Support Bracket: The Support Bracket is designed to screw underneath the table and pull the plywood vault bottom down flush with the support braces. This eliminates bowing in the vault plywood floor, locks everything together, and prevents a loose feeling vault floor that makes noise when setting pieces and cards down. You will want about 8 of them. Use #6 screws 1/2" length to pull it all together. Cup Shim: The Cup Shim is designed to replace the nut and washer provided with the cup holders. It provides a larger flat surface for the cup holder to rotate against with respect to the bottom of the side rail, preventing tilting of the cup holder in rotation, and scratching the surface. A little Locktite on the 6mm hex screw prevents it from rotating and working its way loose over time. Pre-drilling the hole slightly larger than the 6mm screw helps the shim rotate around the screw without the screw trying to rotate. These designs have not been thoroughly tested, and may be refined, but I have installed these on my table. So far, I am happy with the results.
